This acts as both a list for the best characters in the 2014 film (and any future installments) as well as characters from the comics or any other media form.

The Top Ten

1Rocket RaccoonRocket Raccoon is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Keith Giffen, the character first appeared in Marvel Preview #7.

This is the obvious choice out of all the characters in this movie. Not only is he funny and adorable, but he is also very cool, skilled in technology and fighting, and has so much potential in character development! When he was talking about being taken apart and put together again over and over when he was drunk and attacking Gamora, I knew that he had a traumatizing past and this opened up an opportunity for great character development. Good Job Rocket!

I totally agree! I really found him hilarious and I also really cared about him! This was the best movie of this year in my opinion.

Brilliant character.. Makes the film

Yeah he said what more could I lose and then he lost all the guardians

2GrootGroot is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Larry Lieber and Dick Ayers, the character first appeared in Tales to Astonish #13. An extraterrestrial, sentient tree-like creature, the original Groot first appeared as an ...read more.

I love Groot. He is awesome and he should be first.

Only says one or two words, but actions speak louder. A wonderful character.

It really says a lot about a character when they only say 5 words and still become a fan favorite

3Peter Quill / Star-LordStar-Lord is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by Steve Englehart and Steve Gan, first appeared in Marvel Preview #4. ...read more.

4GamoraGamora is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Jim Starlin, the character first appeared in Strange Tales #180.

How is Gamora 5th place! She is obviously the best guardian of the galaxy because she's so cool, original, and interesting. How is Rocket Raccoon first, he's the weakest Guardian, to be honest. Nebula beat him in Vol.2. And Gamora beat Nebula so she's more powerful. Gamora forever.

5Drax the DestroyerDrax the Destroyer is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

He was hilarious in Vol 2. - Therandom

Why would I put my finger on his throat

lol funny

In my opinion, he’s the funniest one. He was really funny in Vol. 2 - KingSlayer93316

6YonduYondu Udonta, or simply Yondu, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

His arrow and his whistle is beast

In the second movie he is so sweet with the others and he die for saving Peter.

So cool coolest arrow thing that activates when he whistles

While there were hardly any boring characters in GOTG 1 and 2, Yondu was, without a doubt, the funniest and most charismatic individual, cracking me or pulling emotions out of me at the most unexpected moments.

7RonanRonan the Accuser is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

I place all Thanos' crew above all the heroes personally and Ronan is no exception; I also favored Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, Corvus Glaive, & Ebony Maw in the Avengers 3 flick. They are all pretty much the type of characters I love most and only appear onscreen when necessary without eating airtime or getting "developed" but rather, kicking major tail and getting beaten beautifully and climactic making me love them even more. All Thanos crew for the win. - PrinceZarbon

8Nebula

9ThanosThanos is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55.

Thanos isn't in the guardians of the galaxy obviously he's the strongest avengers villains he's as strong as the hulk as powerful as Thor killed half the universe and has all six infinity stones

A dude who sits on his butt all day, but yet feared like the fires of hell.

4 infinity stones

Thanks is not Guardians of the Galaxy, but he’s still a good villain - KingSlayer93316

The Contenders

11Baby Groot

He's to adorable to kill!

I Am Groot! - JPK

12Taneleer Tivan / The Collector

Best of all is that you do a Puerto Rican
